ROBIN WILLIAMS TO TALK IN WACKY VOICES ABOUT IRAQ "When the going gets tough, Robin Williams gets going. This fall, the Oscar-winning actor and famously animated funnyman is hitting the road for his first stand-up comedy tour in six years. Weapons of Self-Destruction kicks off Sept. 25, with stops in cities that include Chicago, Nashville and Baltimore. His last tour, in 2002, was filmed for HBO; the resulting program, Robin Williams: Live on Broadway, earned him two Emmy nominations. Why go back out now? 'It's an interesting time, as they say,' Williams says. 'I'll talk about everything that's going on. The election. The choices. What are we going to do?'"
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST "Marsha Williams has flown the birdcage — she's filed for divorce against hubby Robin Williams. The papers, filed in San Francisco on March 21, cite irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The couple, who were married in 1989, got together after Marsha worked as a nanny for the actor and his first wife Valerie."
SVU IS UNSTOPPABLE "Oscar winner Robin Williams will make a rare TV appearance on NBC's crime drama 'Law & Order: SVU.' On an episode slated to air April 29, he will play a law-abiding engineer whose life takes a tragic turn, he becomes an ardent believer in the necessity of challenging authority."
David Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants, reached an agreement last week with the Writer's Guild of America, the terms of the which allow his late night program to resume production, complete with Guild writers. The settlement has prompted other hosts, like Jay Leno, to also return, but without writers.
Last night, the Late Show with David Letterman welcomed it's first guest in weeks, actor and comedian Robin Williams. Leno booked Mike Huckabee, a bigot who once advocated quarantining people with HIV. We hope you chose wisely.

Last time we wrote about Radioman, a couple readers in the know informed us that he was the inspiration for Robin Williams' character in The Fisher King and also is "awesome."
Penelope Cruz does not look to know this man's rep.
Meet Zelda, Robin Williams' 17-year-old daughter. Heh, I probably should have told you earlier that she underaged. Well, she's pretty damn adorable, and apparently an actress, so I just hope the Lohans and Hiltons of the world keep their grubby little paws off her. At least until she's old enough to be fun.
Oh, I don't know, it's not like he's the most MANIC person ever. Sure, it could just be his personality, but something tells me that the internet-y and National Equirer-y rumors that Robin Williams checked into the Hazleden Rehab Center on July 11 are probably true. Watch this clip of Williams on Sesame Street and try to see the moments in which he sorta cracks whilst communicating with children.
I post this because his HBO special kind of makes me uncomfortable. It's not your fault, Robin. It's. Not. Your. Fault.
Try a banana in your shoe and you know what a day is.
Update: People says it's true, but apparently he's mostly on the booze.

I will admit that most of Jake Gyllenhaal's participation in this video clip is the back of his head, but it's still pretty cute (I mean, if you think a kid acting like he just watched his mother die is cute). What I'm most impressed by is the fact that Robin Williams manages to be on screen for three minutes without acting like a completly coked-out lunatic.
And for you real Jake Gyllenhaal fans out there who feel slightly creepy about your Jake-based fantasies after seeing that video, here are some shots of him working out with Ryan Phillipe and a personal trainer. Nothing wrong with a trio of dudes working up a good sweat together.
